Comment (by rlaager):

 If we're going to "fix" this, we should use KiB/s, which is what is
 technically correct.

 I submitted a patch to do this (fix all these units) as one of the first
 things I wrote for Gaim and it was rejected with the logic that people
 don't know what KiB means. If we still believe that, then KB/s is fine.

 By all of my experience, KB is used interchangably with kB in the computer
 world. At least one other person, agrees ;), as
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix says, "The one-letter symbols
 are identical to SI prefixes, except for "K", which is used
 interchangeably with "k" (in SI, the upper-case or capital "K" stands for
 kelvin, and only the lower-case "k" represents 1,000)."
